While I agree it's up to KDE4, i beg to differ why:
It' performance seems to be sacrificed to gods of GUI acceleration, so it's whole eye candyness hangs desperately on dedicated HW. No help to that, I can't but miss the KDE3.x series (revamp?) where it "had it all", or simply put was just productive.
As time passes, I work most of time in fluxbox (laptop) or XFCE4 (k8 desktop), and manage files in either thunar (better integarated) or pcmanfm (feels better).
Up to the point i make *real* file managment where i miss konqueror and work with mc or krusader.
There is little point of eyecandy if the performance/stability penalty is anything but to be neglected.

Mind you, I'm a happy Opera user (Well, happy apart from the lack of gpg support in it's mail client), so the FF version shipped is of no concern to me.

I use Seamonkey - it's an kind of AIO with really good performance; while decent with features.
And have Chrome by side for "those" sites (just in case)...
